Calculate the uncertainty in the velocity of a wagon of mass 3000kg whose position is known to an accuracy of ± 10 pm (Planck’s constant = `6.626 xx 10^(−34) Kg m^2 s^(-1)` .

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Here we are given
`m = 3000 kg `
` Delta x = ` 10pm
` = 10 xx 10^(-12) m = 10^(-11) m`
` therefore ` By uncertainly principle
` Delta v = (h)/(4pi xx m xx Delta x)`
` = (6.626 xx 10^(-34))/(4 xx 22/7 xx 3000 xx 10^(-11))`
` = 1.76 xx 10^(-27) ms^(-1)`
